76-year-old fed children sedative-laced candy at local summer camp, sending 9 to the hospital: cops
A 76-year-old man was arrested after allegedly handing out sedative-laced candy to children at a summer camp in the English countryside — sending several to the hospital, according to officials. Cops responded to reports of kids falling ill at a children's summer camp at Stathern Lodge and rushed eight boys between the ages of 8 and 11 and one adult to the hospital last Sunday, the Leicestershire Police Department said in a statement. John Ruben was arrested at a local pub a day later, CBS News reported. Authorities responded to reports of children falling ill at a children's summer camp at Stathern Lodge — rushing eight boys between the ages of eight and 11 and one adult to the hospital last Sunday. Tom Maddick / SWNS Ruben lives about 15 miles from the lodge, a converted farmhouse with a sports hall and catering facilities, located roughly 120 miles north of London, the outlet reported. All victims have since been released from the hospital, cops said. It is not immediately clear what capacity Ruben was acting in when he gave the children the candy or what sedatives the candy was laced with. 'This has been an extremely upsetting and shocking moment for the community,' Janine McKinney, chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the East Midlands, said. Joseph Walshe / SWNS The candy creeper has since been charged with three counts of wilful ill-treatment of a child, police said. He was ordered detained until his next hearing on Aug. 19 during a Saturday court appearance, the outlet reported. 'This has been an extremely upsetting and shocking moment for the community, and especially for the children and parents most directly affected,' Janine McKinney, chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the East Midlands, told BBC News. 'We would like to remind all concerned that there are now active criminal proceedings against Mr Ruben, and he has the right to a fair trial,' she said. Tainted sweets have caused mayhem before — sparking widespread panic and serious repercussions. In May, a Buffalo, NY public school teacher was placed on administrative leave after he accidentally gave two students THC edibles he mistook for regular candy. A New Zealand food bank also accidentally distributed a stash of potentially lethal packages of meth-laced candies in August of last year.

Derk Sauer, champion of a free press in a new Russia, dies at 72
Mr. Sauer, a lifelong socialist, continued to promote these freedoms after President Vladimir Putin came to power in 1999 and began dismantling Russia's nascent democracy. Advertisement 'He kept on defending journalism until his very last breath,' Pjotr Sauer, who writes for The Guardian, said in a phone interview Friday. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Mr. Sauer was fatally wounded in a 'freak accident' while sailing with his wife, Ellen Verbeek, his son said. Mr. Sauer was under the deck when the boat hit an underwater rock, causing him to fall from a set of stairs and land on his back, his son said. Mr. Sauer underwent surgery at a hospital in Athens before being transferred to a hospital in Amsterdam, where he spent 10 days, Pjotr Sauer said. After leaving the hospital in Amsterdam, Mr. Sauer spent his final days at a family home in Zeeland with his wife and sons. Mr. Sauer's ability to combine high-quality journalism with business acumen made him a wealthy man. Advertisement He introduced glossy magazines to Russia, beginning with a highly successful local edition of Cosmopolitan. After decades of shortages and travel restrictions, Russians in the 1990s flocked to these aspirational titles for a taste of Western pop culture and consumerism. Mr. Sauer's business newspaper, Vedomosti , set the standard in Russia for reporting on the high-wire drama of the country's booming but corrupt capitalist economy. His English-language newspaper, The Moscow Times, tapped into Russia's small but wealthy new community of expatriates. The paper became a training ground for some of the most prominent Russia experts in Western media, including Ellen Barry of The New York Times and David Filipov, a former Moscow bureau chief for The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. 'He brought Russia something they'd never seen, which was quality Western journalism,' Pjotr Sauer said. Derk Erik Sauer was born on Oct. 31, 1952, into a well-off Amsterdam family. His father, Hendrik Sauer, ran a large pension fund, and his mother, Evelien Tazelaar, was a stay-at-home parent. In media interviews, Derk Sauer said that he had rebelled against the social conventions imposed by his father, whom he described as a 'respectable man, incorruptible, exceptionally conscientious.' As a teenager, he joined the Netherlands' small communist party and protested against the war in Vietnam. 'I was a 14-year-old Maoist,' Mr. Sauer said in an interview with The Moscow Times in 2017. After graduating from high school, Mr. Sauer decided not to follow his two brothers to university. Instead, he reported for left-wing publications and campaigned for progressive causes. He briefly helped smuggle weapons for the Irish Republication Army, the paramilitary group that fought for the Irish republican cause in Northern Ireland. Advertisement His antiestablishment activities made him a target of surveillance by Dutch intelligence services for nearly 20 years, Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad reported in 2023. Mr. Sauer possessed unusually sharp business skills for a professed revolutionary. In the 1980s, he turned the Dutch magazine he was editing, Nieuwe Revu, into a household name with a business strategy that he described as 'sex, news and rock 'n' roll.' That reputation led to a job with the Dutch publishing house VNU, which in 1989 tapped him to start a glossy magazine in the Soviet Union. As the country's leader, Mikhail Gorbachev was relaxing the state's media monopoly under wide-ranging reforms that ended up collapsing the communist state. The initial Russian magazine venture did not flourish. When VNU called him home in the early '90s, Sauer and his business partner, Annemarie van Gaal, decided to stay. They started a new media company, Independent Media. Their big break came a few years later, when Hearst Magazines International gave them the license to publish Cosmopolitan in Russia. It took persistence to convince Hearst, a conservative American media conglomerate, to hand over its flagship title to 'two Dutch people without a headquarters or any experience abroad,' van Gaal said in a phone interview. Cosmopolitan became a major financial success in Russia, enabling van Gaal and Mr. Sauer to acquire local licenses for other publications, including Playboy, Good Housekeeping and Marie Claire. The revenue from these titles helped Mr. Sauer to finance journalism projects in Russia that focused more on public-service reporting. According to his associates, Mr. Sauer strongly believed in developing the skills of local journalists. He hoped to build in Russia an independent and financially successful media industry that would hold power to account, as it did in the Netherlands. Advertisement Mr. Sauer offered his employees business courses in publishing and promoted a Master of Business Administration course, said Elizaveta Osetinskaya, a prominent Russian business journalist who worked with Mr. Sauer at Vedomosti. 'It was this combination of journalism and business that really drew me in,' she said in a phone interview Friday. 'I was thinking, 'One day I will be like Derk.'' In 2014, Mr. Sauer took charge of another Russian business publication, RBC, just as Putin annexed Crimea and steered Russia decisively away from Western-style democracy. Mr. Sauer brought in experienced reporters and editors, including Osetinskaya, and tasked them with turning RBC into a Western-style financial daily. By 2016, the jig was up. Under pressure from the government, the paper's oligarch owner fired an RBC editor. The rest of the editorial team resigned in protest, and Mr. Sauer left soon after. 'Derk tried to sort it out, to protect his team and sail through the storm,' Osetinskaya said. 'But by then the country had changed. There was too much pressure.' After Putin invaded Ukraine, Mr. Sauer became one of the most prominent champions of independent Russian journalists who had fled the country to escape repression. He used his connections and influence in the Netherlands to help Russia's main independent news channel, TV Rain, relocate to Amsterdam in 2023. 'Right now, it's blacker than black,' Mr. Sauer told Dutch television program Buitenhof after the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in prison last year. 'The rudeness, the cruelty, I just don't know what to do anymore,' he said. 'The repression and the fear are enormous.'

Accused NYC crypto bro kidnappers bragged about holding another foreign tourist hostage during drug-fueled Kentucky party: report
Two crypto bros charged with kidnapping and torturing an Italian millionaire so they he would give him his cryptocurrency password were accused of kidnapping another European tourist at their Kentucky compound, before he was apparently set free, according to a report. William Duplessie, 33, and John Woeltz, 37, took a group of models and other high fliers from Palm Beach, Florida, to the tiny Kentucky hamlet of Smithland back in February, where they engaged in a drug and gun-fueled party weekend at their sprawling $1.5 million mansion, the Wall Street Journal reported. Guests — whom Duplessie and Woeltz were trying to ingratiate themselves to — told the newspaper that the pair bragged they had kidnapped a German man, stole his cryptocurrency and killed him. The guests said they didn't know what to believe about the tale. 4 John Woeltz, 37, and William Duplessie, 33, pleaded not guilty to kidnapping. Steven Hirsch But, according local 911 call recordings, just a week earlier a German-speaking woman reported that her son had been kidnapped by the pair and was being held prisoners for his crypto password, the Journal reported. The incident began when a Holiday Inn clerk in nearby Paducah called 911 after a German-speaking guest shared disturbing text messages from her son who she said was visiting the US from Switzerland. 'In English, it's saying, 'They don't want to let me go, bitcoin,'' the clerk told police after running the texts through a phone translator, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. ''Need help, they are armed to the brim,'' the messages concluded. Michael Mauer had gone to see a friend in Smithland named John, his mother told the hotel clerk, giving the address of a street where Woeltz owned a smaller house. Mauer and Woeltz had worked together on a crypto project called Grin Coin in 2020. Cops had reported a number of issues at the property since Duplessie and Woeltz had bought their home in Livingston County in January this year, according to 911 recordings. Not long after, Mauer called his mother to say he had been released, and was picked up by a police officer in Smithland. Attorneys to Duplessie and Woeltz didn't respond to requests for comment Sunday. Mauer couldn't be reached for comment. At the Kentucky party, Duplessie and Woeltz flew wealthy heirs, fashion models, and hangers-on from Florida to Smithland, around 135 miles southwest of Louisville, on a private jet stuffed with caviar and booze — reportedly luring their guests out with the possibility of a lucrative crypto investment opportunities. But once they had reached the pair's six-bedroom black marble floored mansion in Smithland the trip reportedly took a dark turn, as the paranoid hosts, who were high on cocaine, claimed to their guests that they had met working with US intelligence services on crypto-related missions, hunting terrorists. 4 The pair were initially arrested on May 23rd, but are now granted a $1M bail that cannot be paid in Bitcoin, according to SC Justice Gregory Carro. Kevin C Downs forThe New York Post 4 NYPD Crime Scene investigators searched the house thoroughly after Carretan escaped. James Keivom 4 Defense lawyers claim the pair were just hazing the alleged victim. Steven Hirsch Duplessie, who had harbored hopes of a career in politics, and even had the Kentucky state seal tattooed on his chest during February's bacchanal, is accused, along with Woeltz, of kidnapping 28-year-old Italian national Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan and torturing him at a fancy SoHo townhouse in May this year. The two men were granted $1 million bail last month. Both have pleaded not guilty to kidnapping charges and say the charges are the result of a misunderstanding. They claim that Carturan was never a hostage but was a willing participant in a debauched party.
